The design of your next stone or tile project is already well underway. It’s a process that began millions of years ago, miles beneath the surface of the earth. We take over where nature leaves off, importing the finest natural stone and porcelain tile from around the globe and continuing its millennia-long process of formation. Like the origins of the products we offer, our passion for architecture and design runs deep.

An igneous rock of volcanic origin, granite is one of the hardest natural stones. During its formation, mineral gases and liquids create crystalline formations, giving it a stunning array of colors.

Marble

Marble is a metamorphic rock found in mountains around the word. It comprises recrystallized minerals and swirls of hidden impurities. These beautiful natural variances give marble its signature warmth and sophistication.

Travertine is a porous calcareous rock that forms when natural mineral water percolates through limestone and recrystallizes. Its earthy texture and warm hues give it a distressed but modern look.

Limestone

Formed from the bonding of mineral fragments and organic materials in the earth’s bedrock, Limestone mainly comprises calcium carbonate, which gives it its signature array of natural colors and streaking.

Quartzite

Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone. The extreme heat and pressurization in its formation leads to the recrystallization of minerals, making extremely strong and flecked with natural patterning.

Quartz

Manufactured from one of the hardest crystalline minerals, quartz is renowned for its durability and color. Formation is proud to be the only stocking distributor of Caeserstone® quartz in the Coachella Valley.

Porcelain

Fired at higher temperatures than ceramic tile, porcelain tile comprises up to fifty percent feldspar, making it denser and less porous than other tile. It is stronger than granite and resists staining.

Vetrazzo®

Vetrazzo® is a unique product comprising concrete and recycled glass. From architectural and art glass to beer bottles and jars, each mix is a work of art, with a story told in every surface.

Specialty & Mosaic

In addition to our line of traditional stone and tile, we offer a wide range of specialty and mosaic products, whose exotic one-of-a-kind beauty you won’t find anywhere else.
